17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Beware of Luxury
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jan Havicksz Steen is a captivating snapshot of 17th-century Dutch domestic life, filled with intriguing details that offer a glimpse into the moral complexities of the era. This large-scale print, measuring 105x145 cm, now resides in the esteemed Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The chaotic scene depicted within this artwork presents a dissolute household where indulgence and disorder reign supreme. A drunken man plays his violin while others revel in their own vices – smoking, eating excessively, and even sleeping amidst the chaos. An infant sits unattended on a high chair as an unruly spaniel snatches at a pie nearby. Steen's masterful composition invites viewers to explore every corner of this topsy-turvy world. A mischievous monkey perches atop an overturned globe, symbolizing how luxury can turn one's world upside down. Meanwhile, a child gleefully imitates adult behavior by puffing on a pipe. Through "Beware of Luxury". Steen warns against succumbing to worldly temptations and losing oneself in debauchery. The artist uses humor and irony to convey deeper moral messages about self-control and moderation. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Art offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to delve into the intricate details that make up Steen's narrative-rich masterpiece. It serves as both an aesthetic delight and thought-provoking commentary on human nature throughout history.
